The Sundial Bridge is always a favorite to visit and explore for locals and visitors. The Turtle Bay Sundial Bridge is a wonderful walking bridge landmark designed by Santiago Calatrava. You can visit his website here. There are only a few bridges in the United States and the residents of Shasta county are very fortunate to have this monumental piece of architecture.

The Sundial Bridge is a must see if you are passing by on Interstate 5 by Redding in Shasta county. The bridge is over the Sacramento river, which does not begin in Sacramento, but up in Shasta county. In addition to this wonderful feat of architecture, the Sundial Bridge is located in the middle of a beautiful arboretum and a wildlife museum and exploration park.

The bridge is very well designed, and is an actual sundial.

Beautiful arboretum on the east side of the Sundial Bridge. In the background you can see the dial part of the bridge. The shadow casts on the pillars telling the time.

Pretty purple flowers from the arboretum at the Turtle Bay Exploration Park and the Sundial Bridge.
